But the group is a little less secretive Friday after posting hundreds of pieces of “model legislation” online. The bills are templates lawmakers can adapt in order to pass legislation in their home states.

“At its core, democracy is a participatory process where ideas are shared and the best ideas are advanced,” Ron Scheberle, ALEC’s executive director said in a press release. “The Council and its task forces provide a unique opportunity for legislators to learn from their counterparts from around the country.”

The group is also a supporter of the parent trigger, which allows a majority of parents at a failing school to vote on how to restructure the school. Options include turning the school over to a for-profit charter school management firm, closing the school or replacing the principal, staff or both.
